Game Overview
Experience the wonder and delights of the orient with iSoftbet and their video slot Fu Fortunes Megaways™. This game is powered by the unique and innovative Megaways™ gaming engine that is under license to iSoftbet from Australian slot provider Big Time Gaming. Through the driving force of the Megaways™ mechanic Fu Fortunes Megaways™ can generate up to 46,656 ways to win across its 6 reel and 6 row format on any given spin.
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ takes you deep into Chinatown and the reels of the game are set within a backdrop of traditional Chinese housing named Siheyuan. Chinese lanterns can also be seen swaying in the breeze as you are serenaded with instrumental music from the orient throughout your gameplay.
The payable sees the lower value symbols made up of the royal cards 10 through to the Ace, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 1.2x on offer when wins are formed through them. Higher value symbols are reserved for the hongbao, tanggu, golden fish, turtle dragon, and golden sun bird, where a 6 of a kind win pay 1.5x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x, and 40x respectively.
Spinning the reels on Fu Fortunes Megaways™ can cost from as little as €0.20 a spin, with the highest bet on the slot reaching up to €20 a play. In total there are 4 bet sizes that can be played at ranging from €2 down to the minimum stake. Usually we would like to see more choice within this range, but due to how the bets within this area have been structured we feel there are enough options for players with smaller budgets to still find a stake that is comparable to their budget.
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ Cascading Reels
The second slot developed in the Megaways™ series that was named Bonanza Megaways™ included the cascading reels mechanic, and since then a whole host of other Megaways™ slot developers have opted to use this exciting feature within their creations. Fu Fortunes Megaways™ is another title that puts this tried and tested method to good use, and players can see multiple wins awarded when it kicks in to action.
Cascading reels will take the symbols that are part of a winning combination and eliminate them from the reels, new symbols will then drop to down to fill the spaces that have been left. The interesting part about this mechanic is that multiple cascades can take place which can build up substantial winnings, especially if that spin of the reels has generated a large amount of Megaways™.
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ Fortune Pots
The wild symbols that can land in view when you are playing Fu Fortunes Megaways™ can have a huge influence on the outcome of your gameplay. This is because they are capable of triggering 2 features that can help to bring some extra winnings your way.
Each time a wild hits it will send some charms up to one of the fortune pots that are situated above the reels. The pots that are positioned above reels 1, 2, 5, and 6 can contain multipliers of up to 5x, so if all four of these trigger up to 20x may be applied to any winning combinations that you have hit during that spin.
If the big fortune pot opens that covers reels 3 and 4, then the jackpot pick me bonus will be triggered which we will now explain more about in the next section.
Fu Fortunes Jackpot Bonus
So if the middle fortune pot opens then the jackpot bonus will be triggered on Fu Fortunes Megaways™. This is a pick me style bonus where you will be awarded one of the following pots and its respective multiplier value.
- Grand – 1000x Multiplier
- Major – 200x Multiplier
- Minor – 50x Multiplier
- Mini – 20x Multiplier
To win one of these pots you will need to match 3 of the coins that represent each jackpot.
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ Free Spin Feature
Triggering the free spin feature on Fu Fortunes Megaways™ will require you to land a minimum of 4 scatter symbols anywhere in view during your play in the base game. The more scatter symbols that you can hit the more free spins you will begin the bonus with as we have highlighted below.
- 4 Scatters = 10 Free Spins.
- 5 Scatters = 12 Free Spins.
- 6 Scatters = 15 Free Spins.
During the free spins on Fu Fortunes Megaways™ all of the low value symbols will be removed from the reels. This will drastically improve your chances of hitting a decent win, especially as the Fu Fortune pots can also be triggered and once again a multiplier of up to 20x can be applied to any wins you achieve.
Just a couple of extra points worth mentioning with the regard to the bonus spins. You can be rewarded with additional free spins through a re-trigger, and this again requires the jade scatter symbols to land anywhere in view. Finally it is also possible for pot pick me bonus to be triggered during the free spins.

Fu Fortunes Megaways™ Slot Review Final Thoughts
Fu Fortunes Megaways™ is certainly not the first Megaways™ slot to use an oriental theme, and players will instantly recognise the similarities between this game and 88 Fortunes Megaways™. There are however some differences and it’s these little tweaks that we believe take this version to the next level.
Firstly Fu Fortunes Megaways™ is played across less paylines and has a better structure when it comes to selecting your playing stake, we always felt there was a little too much going on with 88 Fortunes Megaways™ with symbol upgrades and so many bet sizes to choose from.
Scrapping the cascading reels in the bonus feature and not having an unlimited multiplier in place throughout it was also a move for the better we felt. We liked the random multipliers that can be applied much more, especially when only the premium paying symbols are in play.
So to conclude we would say that this is definitely an improvement on an already popular game, and iSoftbet have managed to add another classy title to their Megaways™ portfolio that is both pleasing on the eye, and entertaining to the core.
